You can send us an agreement in your local language or use the English version.
If this request is sent by a Direct Assignment User, you answer "No" to the above two questions. Direct Assignment Users have already signed an 'End User Assignment Agreement' with the RIPE NCC. If the request is for an LIR, you should also answer with "No".

Supplemental Comments
#[SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENTS]#
%
% Please add more information if you think it will help us understand
% this request.
Our peering agreements are provisional and will be confirmed
when the new AS Number is assigned.
% If you require a 16-bit AS Number instead of a 32-bit AS Number,
% please indicate this below and tell us why. For more information,
% see http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-32-guide.html
AS Number Type: 16-bit
Why 16-bit: Our routers are not 32-bit enabled.
As of 1 January 2009, all AS Numbers assigned by the RIPE NCC will be 32-bit by default. If you require a 16-bit AS Number change the default entry "32-bit" to "16-bit" and explain why you require a 16-bit AS Number. If you require further clarification, please see:
http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-32-guide.html Link: /about-us/news/32-bit-autonomous-system-numbers-a-guide-for-lirs/
